Tracey Bonelle, BACP

Tracey Bonelle offers a calm, warm presence for people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure about the next step. She focuses on listening closely and helping people make sense of repeating patterns and strong emotions. Sessions aim to be paced to each person’s needs so progress feels manageable rather than rushed.

Her approach is relational and person-centred. She works collaboratively and adapts methods to suit each person rather than forcing a single model. Practical tools are offered when helpful, and time is also given to simply be heard and understood.

Tracey draws on several therapeutic traditions to inform her work. This includes attachment-based ideas that look at how early relationships shape current ways of relating, and psychodynamic thinking that attends to recurring themes and unconscious dynamics. She also uses mindfulness skills to help people manage intense feelings and skills from dialectical behaviour therapy to support emotional regulation and coping.

She has six years of experience as a counsellor and holds BACP membership, listed as BACP Therapist - Registered Member MBACP. Her practice has involved supporting people with common difficulties such as stress, anxiety, depression and bereavement, and she also works with concerns including trauma, addiction, relationship and intimacy issues, and ADHD-related challenges.

Tracey sees people in the United Kingdom and works in English. International clients are also accepted. To begin, people are asked to use the site Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the available times.

How Tracey’s approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships affect current connections. Online sessions can explore these patterns by talking through relationship histories and current difficulties in relating to others.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and relies on a genuine, empathic relationship. This helps when someone needs to feel heard and to build trust while working through difficult feelings. Dialectical behaviour therapy offers specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance and handling crises, which can be practiced and reviewed during sessions.

Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will adapt methods as needed. That collaborative planning is part of the early sessions and may change over time.

Practical benefits of working online include fitting therapy into a busy life and reducing travel time so sessions can be easier to attend. Online work can allow shorter check-ins or focused skills practice when that suits someone’s routine. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available online options before booking to make sure they match your needs.
